The Congregation of the Fathers of Mercy, which was founded in 1808, originally under the title of “The Missionaries of France.” The community was founded for the purpose of re-evangelizing the people of France after the Catholic Faith had been subjected to years of attacks and persecution during the French Revolution. It is now exclusively an American community. The Generalate of the Congregation is located in Auburn, Kentucky. The primary apostolate of the Fathers of Mercy is to conduct parish missions and retreats throughout the United States and other countries when called upon. The Congregation also staffs rural parishes in the Archdiocese of Louisville, Kentucky.

    This made me cry. I cry a lot these days. Suffering well is the key. Suffering without purpose is just agony.

    It is so beautiful to know that God loved us so much as to write the Law of Love within our hearts. That HE will speak to us within our hearts. The QUESTION THAT REMAINS TO BE ASKED IS: Are we even LISTENING?

    Oh no Father , Lent is most difinately not miserable, Lent is beautiful, Lent is my absolute favourite time of year, its our preparation for the Resurrection of the Christ, it's our hope, out joy, our darkness into light, uts the most important time of year and it opens up new ways for repentance and fasting from sins and earthly things so urs a crucial and most important and special ever event in our lives

    Yep! We live in a what am I going to get out of it culture? But think of how the goats count it to Gods face,” when did I not do this when did I not do that for you”? Everything that they did was a what’s in it for me God all while they lacked love and mercy which is doing Gods will to deny yourself and do it for others.

    @@elitav4238 “And do not call anyone on earth `father,' for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor are you to be called `teacher,' for you have one Teacher, the Christ. The greatest among you will be your servant. For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.” Matthew 23:9-15 GOD called them Father. They didn’t DEMAND anyone else to do so. Read The Bible, if you’ve got one 🙏
